Hi again,

was over at Harbor Freight this past weekend and found a little clear
water pump on sale for $20. *I am sure that it is cheap Chinese crap
but I really only want it for occasional use. *What I'm thinking of
doing is just putting garden hose fittings on it and using it to pump
water from my cistern so that I can wash cars etc. with it. *(I have a
sloped driveway and the location of the cistern is such that I don't
have quite enough head to hold a hose above the roof of my car and
have water come out.) *My thought was simply to put a pressure switch,
like you'd use for a well, on the outlet of the pump to shut it off if
I was using a nozzle and let go of the trigger. *Do you think this
would work, or is a more complicated control setup required (or did I
just waste $20 on something that won't work for my app?)

thanks,

nate

My cistern needed a water pump for her 2002 Dodge.

Luckily my cousern is a mechanic so she got a good deal.
